CAMP  FIRE  GIRLS  SING 


SONG  is  as  old  as  man  himself.  All  people  of  all  races  and 
degrees  of  civilization  sing.  When  an  Eskimo  mother  rocks 
her  baby  to  sleep  on  her  back,  she  sings  many  different  lullabies. 
Stepping  up  and  down  with  a  short  step  in  her  narrow  house,  she 
tells  her  baby  about  the  country  and  the  people  and  the  animals, 
but  she  most  frequently  sings: 

"Asarai,  asarai 

Nunierbut,  nunierbut,  nunierbut 

Asarai,  asarai 

Erkrosiumagalierbungor. " 

That  means: 

"Your  little  hands,  your  little  hands 

Are  going  to  pick  berries,  to  pick  berries,  to  pick  berries; 

Your  little  hands,  your  little  hands 

Are  going  to  wash  all  the  clothes." 

And  she  goes  on:  "Your  little  hands  shall  scrape  skins,  your 
little  hands  shall  kill  seal,  your  little  liands  shall  row  boats. "  In 
that  manner  she  shapes  the  baby's  attitude  toward  life,  towards  the 
work  it  is  going  to  do  in  life,  and  helps  to  determine  its  psychic 
content.  These  suggestions  will  be  strong  forces  in  the  child's  life 
for  they  were  sung  into  its  conciousness  before  the  words  had 
meaning. 

All  good  mothers  sing  to  their  babies  to  quiet,  to  teach,  to 
make  them  happy.  Camp  Fire  Girls  sing  to  help  carry  the  ideals 
and  traditions  for  which  they  stand.  When  they  bring'  these  to 
others  and  make  it  part  of  their  psychic  content,  they  enforce  the 
group  spirit.  Singing  helps  them  keep  the  law  of  the  Camp  Fire : 
"Seek  beauty,  Be  happy."     Song  also  helps  "Glorify  Work." 

These  songs  are  Written  especially  for  the  Camp  Fire  Girls, 
by  W.  H.  Neidlinger.  More  will  accumulate.  They  are  adopted 
for  use  without  accompaniment  so  they  can  be  used  anywhere  and 
anytime.  The  accompaniment  helps  make  them  beautiful.  Two 
parts  can  also  be  sung. 

To  stand  ol-'sit  welf^J  is'to  breathe  well. 
To  breathe  well  is  to  sing  well. 

Thus  singing  becomes  a  vital  factor  in  attaining  Health.
